A Wall in a Hall

I was intrigued by this wall when I saw it in the Elle Decor Modern Life Concept House. Venetian plaster? Lacquered wall? Was this a hall or a room?


It reminded me of this gorgeous paneled wall in a French chateau, with the soft color and gilded molding.


Upon closer  inspection, it became evident that it was Venetian plaster in a lovely soft blue gray,


in the hall leading to the study designed by Sara Story (as seen here) and created by the talented Judy Mulligan.


 I though it a clever way of adding interest to an otherwise boring space used constantly. Why keep it just as a pass through area? The smooth Venetian plaster begs to be touched and the painted gold trompe l'oeil moldings really made it special.  



Extraordinary sheen!
 
What have you done in your hallways to take them out of the ordinary?

Once Again...

Judy Mulligan did it. Recently unveiled at the Elle Decor Modern Life Concept House, Judy's gorgeous Venetian plaster wall and ceiling, along with the peacock door, were among the highlights of the show.




Judy worked with Sara Story, the interior designer of the study and one of five interior designers on Elle Decor's 2011 A-list "Designers to Watch." I would say the shine she obtained with the soft blue plaster application was perfecto!


She also painted the dazzling geometric pattern on the upper wall and ceiling. The door to the study was first gilded and the peacock hand-painted, with the painting extending right on to the Venetian plaster wall.





I have been an admirer of Judy's work for a long time. I fell in love with her Venetian plaster and stenciled wall that she created for the Twin Maples Show House in October of 2008, working with designer Marshall Watson.


I still love it- the color, the pattern!


In 2009, she once again teamed up with Marshall Watson and executed this grandly stenciled and shellacked wall for the dining room of the Hampton Designer Showhouse.


Just beautiful, Judy!
